I'm really struggling with exfoliative cheilitis that I've had for about 12 years. The entire layer of skin on my upper and lower lips keeps peeling, and it's so sore and red underneath. I've got loads of Fordyce spots on my top lip too. I've tried attaching some pictures of my lips before. Nothing seems to work. I've tried almost every medication - tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, Calendula ointment, and even Sebamed lip balm. None of these topical treatments have made any difference. I even went through a multivitamin course, hoping it would help, but no luck. I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling them, but that just made things worse, with them becoming more inflamed. The skin turns white when it gets wet and peels every day. I've seen many dermatologists who've prescribed creams, but nothing has worked so far. Is there any kind of surgical option that might help since the treatments just aren't doing anything?

View allI've been dealing with this really annoying itching issue lately. After I itch, these red spots about 2 mm in diameter pop up, and then they turn black.

I'm using Scarend gel for my acne scars. Do you think it's effective if I keep using it for a long time? I'm really struggling with bad acne scars and open pores. Are there any treatments you could suggest that might give up to 90% improvement?
For up to 90% improvement in acne scars and open pores, consider combining Scarend gel with treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, under the guidance of a dermatologist.

I'm curious about switching from minoxidil, which I've been on for a couple of weeks, to Ustraa hair vitalizer. Do you think it would be effective for hair regrowth and reducing hair fall?
It is not recommended to abruptly switch from minoxidil to Ustraa hair vitalizer without consulting your healthcare provider. Minoxidil is a medication used for hair regrowth and should be used as prescribed. If you are considering switching to Ustraa hair vitalizer, please consult with your doctor first to discuss the best course of action.
